Around Ames/ISU

Just an update from a recent trip around Ames/campus:

-Tents are going up in front of the stadium
-The new Alumni Center is nearly finished...pouring the stairway yesterday.
-Stopped by the Hub and it is NICE in there. Caribou Coffee and ISU dining has a full grill inside. They are still working on the addition with more seating, but most people wouldn't recognize the old space full of vending machines.
-Speaking of not recognizing a place, the University Book Store looks awesome. When I was a student, they had a very small selection of ISU clothing. Now they have more selection than Scheels in WDM and I bet twice that of T-Galaxy. Overall, they did a great job with the MU renovation/addition.
-The Hilton Garden Inn out west is framed and should be open later this fall.
-Stopped by Lowes yesterday and about puked seeing a large hok display inside the door. Rugs for sale. Evidently, ISU doesn't have a similar product. Made me sick and I wanted to rip it down. I can't believe that there would be a market for that crap in Ames. ISU's licensing dept needs to loosen up a bit.
-The Coover addition is nice.
-Pammel Dr is closed and they are working on the new chemistry building.
-JT is rounding into shape and the field looks great!

Where is the Hilton Garden Inn going in out west? I live in West Ames and was not aware we were getting one.

Re: Around Ames/ISU

They are starting to pull construction equipment out of the slots and now have much of the railings done at JT. Fisher/Nickel is well on it's way to being demolished; they were removing asbestos the other day. Pammel drive should be reopened in a week or so, then there are rumors that they will be closing Osborn for awhile. The new stairs at Curtiss are nice and even. VetMed is really nice. I walked though there the other day and it kinda made me wish I was a horse.
